Respiratory System
The process involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in organisms
respiration
What are the three basic types of blood vessels
capillaries
arteries
veins
It is when the diaphragm contracts and induces the decrease in air pressure within the lungs
Inhalation
What is the shape of the red blood cells?
biconcave disk
What are the four chambers of the heart
left and right atrium
left and right ventricle
The process where the cells convert energy from glucose from the food that we eat into adenosine triphosphate
cellular respiration
composed of strong cardiac muscle tissues that continuously contract and relax to pump blood all throughout the body
•The heart
the diaphragm relaxes which decreases the size of the chest leading to the increase in air pressure in the lungs.
Exhalation
What cells defends the body against infections
White blood cells
the largest vein in the body
Vena Cava
the process involved in the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in organisms
respiration
•deliver oxygen-rich blood to the cells, away from the heart. As arteries penetrate the organs, they decrease in diameter and become arterioles.
Arteries
The site of gas exchange between air and the blood is the
alveoli
A type of white blood cell that aid in allergic reaction
basophils
The site of gas exchange between the __________ and the ___________ is the alveoli
air and blood
What is the correct sequence of pathway of air
nostrils,pharynx,larynx, trachea, bronchi,bronchioles
It is a transport medium in vessels that carries gases, nutrients and metabolic waste
Blood
the volume of air exhaled out after the deepest inhalation
Vital Capacity
A type of white blood cell that treat chronic infections and part of the innate immunity
monocytes
Blood is ____________ in the lungs, when the oxygen field blood riches the tissues, it gives up oxygen thus making it oxygen______________
oxygenated
poor
a flap of cartilage that opens during respiration
epiglottis
What is the normal blood pressure of an adult
120/80
the volume of air moved into or out of the lungs.
Tidal volume
It is the most abundant cells in the blood
red blood cells
During inhalation, the rib cage moves up and _______________ while the diaphragm ____________ and moves downward
expand
contract
What is the function of an alveoli when person breathes in?
they take oxygens
The small blood vessels that connect arteries and veins
Arteries
It is the volume in the lungs at maximal inflation
Total lung capacity (TLC)
Help in clotting of blood to stop bleeding
platelets
Give three ways of taking care our circulatory and respiratory systems
•Engage in physical activities or exercise
•Avoid smoking and tobacco use
•Take proper diet.
•Maintain proper body mass index
•Regularly consult with doctors
